Answer:
The return on assets and debt/equity ratio does not change
Explanation:
An operating lease does not affect assets and liabilities. From the formula:
Equity = Assets - Liabilities, since both assets and liabilities are not affected (they remain unchanged) therefore the equity is also the same.
The debt/ equity ratio = total liabilities/total equity. Since liabilities and equity remain unchanged, therefore The debt/ equity ratio is the same.
Also the return of assets (earnings/assets) remain the same
